Hampton Beach, in southern New Hampshire, is accessible via Route 1A and 101 and comes alive in the summer. Enjoy weekly fireworks displays and sand sculpting all while feasting on fresh seafood and fried dough from the vendors on the boardwalk. Nearby, Hampton Beach State Park is a year-round destination for picnicking and bird-watching. All of that activity is bound to make you thirsty. Fortunately, a number of local bars offer cocktails any time of the year.
